2. Closer fiscal integration – eurobonds
Main scenario Alternative scenarios
Five reasons why euro recession will be short
1. Fiscal headwind is significant – but is not getting stronger
2. US recovery normally leads the Euro area
3. Emerging Markets to drive stronger export growth
4. The recession is partly due to ”overproduction”
5. Financial headwinds expected to ease slightly during 2012

Fiscal policy continues to be tightened in 2012…
... but contrary to popular belief the tightening is not getting stronger
If anything it is getting slightly smaller according to current plans

Major headwind from food prices has turned into tailwind

− Real income growth goes up
− Policy goes from tightening to easing

Emerging Markets importance for the euro area has grown significantly over past 10 years
Asia now buys more than 20% of euro exports. CEE just below 20%
US only buys around 10%
Slowdown in Emerging Markets have been important factor in euro export slowdown
As Emerging Markets growth recover it will also lift euro area exports

Euro area outlook 2012
#4: The recession is partly due to inventory build-up
Euro area growth outperformed in H1 growing 1.9% vs 0.8% in US
Part of the production rise went to inventories as sales slowed
Current decline in production is partly adjustment to sales
But this will be a temporary effect

Summary: Euro area growth to surprise vs market pessimism
Euro area in recession in coming quarters
Pace of decline to taper off now -> PMI is going to rise
Growth to recover slowly from Q2 to 1½% by end-2012
Five reasons:
− US recovery leads euro
− China recovers in early 2012
− Inventory adjustment temporary drag
− Fiscal headwind not getting stronger
− Financial headwinds to ease slightly
Downside risk: worsening of euro debt crisis

We still expect 2012 to be a year of recovery for China
Inflation poised to decline substantially and will not be a major constraint on policy
Recovery will be supported by both monetary and fiscal easing
However, policy response will be cautious and depend on how the economy performs
in the coming months
Lower inflation supports private consumption
Gradual improvement in exports
However, only modest recovery in Q1 12 and there will be downside risk
Adjustment in property market will continue to weigh in the short run
Import of commodities could suffer in the short run
Appreciation of CNY to continue albeit the pace is poised to slow

lower inflation
